Shanks alluded that Blackbeard was much stronger than he was leading on while they battled. He didn't have to be a Yonkou for Mihawk to believe he was a great pirate, they are 4 yrs apart in age and likely knew of each other as the "supernovas" of their time.
Why he was using Luggy's hometown as a base, besides playing role model, is a mystery. My guess is training to become a yonkou.
Could all be a plot hole since some major details are in chapter 1of698...

I'm pretty sure he was already a yonkou. Whitebeard mentioned that everybody was surprised a man of Shank's caliber lost an arm in East Blue during their confrontation about Ace going after Blackbeard.
